Nvidia and the environment.

Data centers have to constantly increase their capacities to meet the increasing demand for web applications, storage, and processing operations. Resulting in higher carbon emissions due to increasing energy consumption. Many data center companies have tried to mitigate this damage to the environment through green energy means. Bur evet if we don’t consider the energy used by data centers for crypto mining, the percentage of consumption of data centers is estimated to be 1% of the global consumption. Global companies, including data center companies, pledge to reach 0% carbon emissions by 2030. NVIDIA, which is known for its GPUs, will use liquids to cool processors, which comes as a step in the goal of sustainability and building green data centers In light of the increasing demand in computer processing and remote computing. NVIDIA aims in this step to increase the efficiency of the use of energy of GPUs rather than increasing the performance of the processor itself. In huge applications such as data centers and artificial intelligence-oriented setups, which is requiring more and more energy which is a great sustainability concern for Data Centers engineers and managers. NVIDIA has announced that the new technology, called the A100 PCIe, will have the same processing power, but will save 30% of energy compared to traditional cooling methods. Liquid-cooled processors will also allow 66% more space for data centers, which in itself is a huge saving in construction equipment, ventilation, maintenance, and space. NVIDIA is not alone in thinking of reducing its carbon footprint. Competitors such as Intel, Google, and Alibaba are constantly trying to accommodate their growing energy needs and find solutions through continuous research and development for performance, and efficiency of energy consumption. One of the most notable developments is Intel's announcement last week that it intends to allocate $700 million to build a research center with an area of ​​200,000 square meters for advanced technologies, including liquid processor cooling systems. Microsoft is also continuing research on liquid cooling of processors, the most important of which is the Microsoft project in 2018 for a data center consisting of more than 800 servers, which was placed under seawater, which according to Microsoft proved its efficiency in terms of cooling, energy consumption, and deployment.
